Gave asynchronous operations approximate POSIX signal semantics. This
will enable us to cascade async operations, which is necessary in order to
properly support DNS. (For example, an HTTP request may have to redirect
to a new location and will have to perform a new DNS lookup, so we can't
just rely on doing the name lookup at the time of parsing the initial
URL).
Anything other than HTTP is probably broken right now; I'll fix the others
up asap.
Let ifmgmt.c take care of calling efree(), since it's the once which
took out the contract to eventually call efree() when it called fetch().
Maintain the most recently loaded image at the start of the list, so that
imgautoselect() will pick it.
Add "name" field to struct device to allow human-readable hardware device
names.
Add "dev" pointer in struct net_device to tie network interfaces back to a
hardware device.
Force natural alignment of data types in __table() macros. This seems to
prevent gcc from taking the unilateral decision to occasionally increase
their alignment (which screws up the table packing).
